This is a perfect landing and about as close to getting vulched (and surviving) as you can get:

no if you didn't brake anything you would have rolled off the end of the carrier...

but if the plane were to break the gear or the wings would have ripped off...

Gilmour still flies the Stearman (2nd plane) he sold his Folland Gnat (but not 100%).

Also, Learning to Fly was written after he solo'd his first flight.   The middle portion is Nick Mason going through the Pre-Flight with the Tower of the airport they took lessons at.

I noticed in the link above that he has a 51D with the shark mouth. Do you know if that's an actual WW2 skin or not?
